Office staff was friendly. There are level sites, however, campground appears to be geared toward weekenders from Des Moines, not overnighters. Overall this is an acceptable overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, well kept place, far enough from the interstate that road noise is not a problem. Gravel roads & driveways, good grass between sites. About one quarter are shaded, rest are not. Pool nicely setup but small. WiFi service faded sometimes but was acceptable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed our stay and will return to this park. It is a short (a couple miles) off I-80 in Central Iowa, on a paved highway. The staff was very friendly. They were accommodating and catered to our kids. The location is in the country. There are very few trees in the actual campsites. Our site happened to be one of the very few with a mature tree. The majority of the sites are open to the sky. I received all of the Des Moines, IA digital TV stations without even raising my Winegard antenna from the driving position. The swimming pool was refreshing and a nice temperature, even for a 80 degree day. There is a new basketball court and hoop. The playground was decent for our kids. The store had basic necessities for RV supplies, plus basic food and snack type food. This was a nice stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice place to spend a few day's. Sites were big and roomy. Bathrooms and laundry area were clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There's a fishing pond and plenty of things for kids to do. In all it's a well kept park. We were glad to find this park as we had reservation at another park but when we got there we couldn't get our rig level so we left. Would return if in the area again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice quiet park in a rural setting that is ideal for touring the Winterset/Des Moines area. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a store that has all the necessary items. They added 10 sites recently for big rigs. We would definitely stay again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped overnight after a long day coming over from Cheyenne, WY. Being tired and ready for comfortable accommodations, we found it here. Friendly staff, big pull through sites, plenty of space in between sites. For an overnight or weekend stay, this place was excellent. We would definitely stop again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Over priced. Office staff friendly enough. But sites not level and roads are rough. After we left six miles from the park we had a broken leaf spring and were stranded on the side of the interstate for 5 hours. There has to be better places at a cheaper price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Large sites, flat hard gravel pads. Some very large sites, lots of grass. Hosts were very nice, guided us to our site. Everything seemed clean and well kept. It looks like a fairly new campground, not much in trees but I think we may stay here an extra day just to relax. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites were small and tight, but the park was clean. New crushed stone on the sites made it hard to get 5th level. Not a bad overnight stop except I was charged $38. Wifi was extremely weak and only worked if you took your laptop up to the office. I now remember why I never stay in KOA's. Probably would not stay again, mostly because of the price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I had stayed here before and have come to know the owners and staff quite well. They are very cordial and accommodating. Well stocked store and the sites were well maintained. I have traveled extensively and find this place to be one of my favorites. I highly recommend anyone to stay at this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed twice, on the way to/from Colorado. First time, checked in with a reservation, coming back, just dropped in. Had a full hookup with the reservation, and only water and electric as a drop in. The guy that showed us to our site asked if we wanted a fire that night, and he went off and came back with a semi-wheel, buried the thing and dropped off some wood for us. They are in the process of upgrading the sites, and the sites are a little close, but for a one nite stay, a wonderful place to pull in. By 10pm, all of the kids were in bed, and it was quiet as a ghost town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the typical KOA -- very crowded and tight, back-to-back sites. The first site they tried to put us in was 50 amps, and they moved us when they found out we only needed 30 amps. ("50 amp sites are a premium.") The next site they moved us to lasted about 5 minutes. They then told us that site was reserved for a month and we had to move. (They did apologize for making us move.) The 3rd site they put us in was back-to-back with another camper and the only way we could get our trailer in and slide open was to park on the grass. We told them that wouldn't work as at that point we were near the camper in front of us. We eventually got our money back and moved on down the road. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Earlier comments about the location were correct saying that the sites are very close,
however, that was the only thing we found wrong. I found that the owner had purchased it from his in-laws last year and he, along with his wife, are trying hard to improve it. We called from Kansas City, telling them we would be in after office hours, and he stayed to meet us. Camp was very clean. Would stay there any time we pass through. Pictures on website are accurate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It was late November when we stopped here and not to much else was open. The park was completely empty when we got there at 15:00 and we had to roust out the fellow that takes care of it from his home next door. The water was turned off but
the power and sewer were available. I didn't have a 30 amp connector but he did have a couple of sites with 50. The park was like real quiet since we were the only people there. Another motorhome pulled in later that night. This is a very nice spot, no freeway noise. Might be a little tight during the summer as the sites are side by side. The park is very clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Over all it was a well kept campground. The sites were fairly level. It was not busy at all, but the sites were back to back; so it could get tight. We were there 9/3 and 10/7 of 2003. During our trip we lost our KOA card and the owner would not give us the discount on our return trip, even though he had checked us in a month before. I was insulted that he thought I was trying to beat him out of $3. The place was nice, quite and convient but I won't go back....and it's not the 3 bucks We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park - level sites. Was about 25 minutes west of Des Moines, however. We thought by the name of the campground, "West Des Moines KOA" that it was a western suburb. But it is actually quite a ways out on I-80. But overall - a very nice
campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
